The property and franchise of the
Martinsburg and Potomac Railroad is ad-
vertised for sale on November IL next,
for the reason that the Indebtedness of
the road is too heavy to be carried. The
Martinsburg Statesman in commenting
on the proposed sale, says: There is
but little doubt but that the road, when
it goes into other hands, will be extended
to Winchester without any further ex-
pense to our people, which will be great
boon to the citizens of the southern end
of the county. This road is one of the
lines which connects with the Cumberland
Valley road, and it is probable that the
latter company will become the purchaser
of it."

Should it have advanced. however, and

that matter is forming, we can not

then hasten the formation of matter

TO do this hot applications by means
of water, at as high a temperature as
can be borne, should be applied for
several hours. The child should lie
down, and small pieces of linen, folded

the whole protected by a piece of oiled

LOST NECKCACE.-

Que OF tbs Most Neatly Performed and
Auiacious Crimes on r cord.
One evening when Napoleon l. was
in all his glory there was grand gala
production at the Grand Opera. How
many reigning Kings and Princes &C.
cupied the boxes and balconies it is
impossible for me to estimate; the very
seats usually occupied by the claquers
we're filed with noblemen.
The Princess Borghese. the beautiful
and accomplished Pauline, sparkled and
shone in her box, eclipsing all around
her by the splendor OF her loneliness,
as the sun does her satellites by the
brilliancy of its rays. On her neck
she wore necklace. the diamonds and
massive pearls of which, INTERVIEWED
and blended with transcendent art,
still further enhanced b er Incompatible
brl!iancy.
The imperial box opened in its turn,
aud the master of the world appeared,
saluted by these Kings and Princes
with a formidable cry of .Vive IEm-
pereur!' 1t was generally remarked
that the Empress seemed unable to
take her ewes off her sister-in law, and
appeared to be fascinated. dazzled, like
the other occupants of the vast audi
forum, with the marvellous brilliancy
of the necklace. Suddenly the box of
the Princess Borghese opened, and a
young Major presented himself, wear
ing the brilliant blue and silver uni
form of the aides-de camp of the En-
peror's staff Her Majesty, the EN-
press sud he, bowling low, ''admires
the wonderful necklace worn by your
Imperial Highness. and has expressed
the liveiest desreto exam ne itcloser.
The beautiful Pauline made sign to
one of her ladies of honor, who un-
clasped and detached the necklace
from the Princess neck and placed it
in the hands of the staff officer. The
latter bowed gravely and disappeared.
This episode occurred toward the mid
die of the second act The fourth act
came and passed, and the entertain
ment concluded, yet still the necklace
was not returned.
The Princess Borghese took this for
a charact ristic freak of Maria Lou SEES
Next day. however, she asked if the
necklace had pleased the Empress, and
whether she had found the setting and
arrangement of the jewels to her taste.
The Empress was thunderstruck, for
she had not seen it and had sent no
officer for it as described. Napoleon
deigned to mix himself up in the affair.
He had the lanes Of all the staff Off
GERS on duty the preceding evening

under some. pretext or other, he had

uIearian Rugs which. Like tho Persian,
Rather Improve by Use.
The town of Prot, which formerly
belonged to Bulgaria lat was handed
over to Servia by tho Berlin treaty Of
1878, was up to that time the center OF
5he Bulgarian carpet trade, and the
place of exchange for WAIVERS and
manufacturers of the district, whose
population is recognized as far ahead
If its neighbors in the Balkan PENN
,ula in the artistic manufacture OF
WOODEN articles. This active trade,
however, is entirely broken up by po-
litical events. and the center of the
Bugar an carpet trade is now at Cipo-
rovice, within the boundaries of the
,rncipalitv, while Prot, and its carpet
trade in particular. has sunk to utter
nsigniiicance, the Servian product be-
ng a coar g. undes rable article, which
hardly finds its way across the frontier.
On the other hand. Ciporovce, which
is surrounded by number of villages
entirely cupied by the carpet indus
try, is daily growing in Importance as
the center of the trade.
Notwithstanding the change of place,
however, the n anne of 'Pirot Carpets"
ha been retained for the particular ar
ticle by the trade as well as the people.
These carpets, or rather rugs. which
are seldom larger than three yards by
two, are entirely made of wool and
goats hair, dyed in the old-fashioned
way with vegetable dye-stuffs. An in
ferior quality, which is dyed with ami
line colors. much cheaper, but also
much less durable than the Ciporovice,
is made at Berkovice. AT first sight
thew appear equal in brightness of color
and taste of designs, but the wear soon
tells against the Berkovice article, the
genuine article having the quality in
common with Persian carpets that it
rather improve by use.
In many Bulgarian houses there are
carpets YER hundred years old. and
which used to constitute the wealth and
pride of ia niles which now, finding
themselves in straitened C rcumstance5 }.
and at the same time finding an open
and ready export market, dispose OF
them at pretty high pr.cos.
The manufacture of these carpets, as
may be readily mag ned, is entirely
carried on III bnc WCdNcio hOhhOoi
.mills, of course are rs vet unknown
to them, and have not yet ruined the
originality of taste nor generalized the
character or quality Of the article.
Still, the Bul yarians have an open eye
for their new trade opportunities. and
manufacture for export another cheap
class of carpets C consisting entirely OF
goats hair. They are also very pretty,
and it is scarcely surprising that the
people OF the Balkan Peninsula Should
be much advanced in the manufacture,
of carpets and blankets Or shawls OF
singular beauty, as they have for cen cen
, turtles been ether governed by or under
the immediate influence of Oriental ma.

Mexican Silver Deposits.

Charles Lyell. the eminent geologist,
saws that the interior of Mexico is the
richest known argentiferous section in
the whole world, The fact was long
ago established that a metallferous
vein runs without interruption through
the entire length of the cordillera Of
Anahuac. extending from the Sierra
Maire in Sonora, near the northern
border, to the gold deposits of Oaxaca,
in the extreme south of Mexico. This
exhaustive vein traverses no less than
seventeen States. and since the day of
its discovery its mineral yield has been
more than $4,000, 000 900 worth. And
yet these valuable sources of wealth
are estimated to b. not more than one
per cent. of the undeveloped and UNI
discovered whole.-Merico TWo Rep~6-
